Bertha Park High School is a non-denominational state comprehensive secondary school in Perth, Scotland. Planning for the school began in 2013 when Perth and Kinross Council voted to accept Scottish Government funding for a new school in Perth. The school opened in 2019, and was the first new high school in Scotland since 2002. The school has a focus on digital learning and is the only school in the UK to be part of Microsoft's Flagship Schools program.

Tulloch, formerly known as Bleachfield, is a residential area of Perth, Scotland, approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north-west of the centre of Perth. Tulloch is the western part of the area that borders Hillyland.The main access road to Tulloch, from the east or west, is Tulloch Road, reached via the Crieff Road (A85), which bounds it to the south. It is also accessible, albeit less directly, from the Dunkeld Road (A912), which bounds it to the north-east, via a modern housing development. It is bounded to the north-west by the A9. Tulloch has a small shopping precinct, Tulloch Square, located just off Tulloch Terrace. Tulloch Primary School, founded in 1969, is located on Gillespie Place. It can accommodate 400 pupils.Primrose Crescent, a main thoroughfare which, upon merging from Tulloch Road and Hillyland, circumnavigates Tulloch's oldest residential area before joining up with Tulloch Road again just before its western junction with Crieff Road. The skyline is dominated by several high-rise flats (one of which is in view in the background of the infobox image). In addition to the new housing development in the north-east of Tulloch/Hillyland, homes have also been built to the north and west. These are in addition to the first development (Sandeman Court) that went up in the 1980s in the valley behind the primary school, near the railway siding at the bottom of the hill. Between the housing and the railway siding is Perth Lade, which is sourced from Low's Work, a weir on the River Almond south of Almondbank, and empties 4.5 miles (7.2 km) away into the River Tay, near Smeaton's Bridge, via the city. A walking path runs parallel to the lade. Ladeside Court, a cul-de-sac off Fairfield Avenue, takes its name from the body of water. J. Pullar and Sons Ltd.'s Tulloch Works, a dry cleaning plant, once stood on the site of the present-day Bracken Brae. At the turn of the 20th century, architectural firm comprising John Honeyman, John Keppie and Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed a row of buildings for workers at the dyeworks. They were single-storey, semi-detached roughcast cottages. There were also two two-storey blocks containing a total of ten flats. The eight cottages remain, today's 61–75 Tulloch Terrace; the two flats have been demolished. Pullars also built Tulloch School, for their workers' children, in 1895. The school closed in 1911, and the building was later used by the Tulloch Institute.From certain parts of Tulloch, views are afforded of the hills beyond Scone to the east, including an obelisk on the 279-foot (85 m) summit of a hill near Muirend. To the north, the Grampian Mountains can be seen.
